IntroductionĪndroid has two main TextViews one of them is AppCompatTextView, which has been available for quite a while, and MaterialTextView (which extends AppCompatTextView). If this isn’t good enough for you and you’d rather have control over every aspect of the UI, then come along. ✔ Applies proper baseline alignment automatically.If all you need is to quickly ensure that text sits within a baseline grid without knowing the exact values or whether they match the mockups, there are alternatives to this method! This post is also helpful for developers to understand why they should move that button 3px to the left. In this post, I’ll walk you through how to make text components for Figma that can be easily implemented on Android, with code snippets and explanations. The goal is to ensure the implementation is perfect without taking time off feature development.
So today I’m going to talk about Android’s TextViews how they behave in comparison to design tools, and how to take full control of them, as a designer. It almost makes it worse you’re the only one that knows it’s wrong, but you can’t push yourself to bug your developers about it and waste time that could be spent on “better things” or “more features.” That’s certainly the case for me. And your answer would be “No.”īut that doesn’t help it. In that case, you’d ask yourself whether those details matter to someone other than yourself. You’ve probably been through the same thing at one point: you make mockups, detailed descriptions, and spreadsheets and in the end, the result is not what you wanted it to be. Whenever I’m designing an app, I always try to focus on how a UI can be created optimally and how well the composition inside a design tool can translate to platform components and paradigms. Testing the limits of firstBaselineToTopHeight and lastBaselineToBottomHeight to deliver a perfect result.
